Puberty is a period of physical growth and sexual maturation. It is a gradual process that occurs during early adolescence and involves a great number of physical, mental, and social adjustments and role performance.
Objectives-To assess the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding irregular menstruation. To develop and administer an information guide sheet on irregular menstruation. To find the association between knowledge scores and selected sociodemographic variables.
Methods-A descriptive approach was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A non-experimental descriptive research design was used to assess the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding the contributing factors for irregular menstruation in selected PU colleges in Hassan. In this Simple random sampling technique, a structured knowledge questionnaire was selected based on the objectives of the study. The data gathered were analyzed using the computation of mean and standard deviation. Inferential statistics, Karl Pearson correlation coefficient test, and chi-square test were performed at 0.015 level of significance to find out the significance association between the level of knowledge and demographic variables. The data are represented using various graphical devices, such as bar diagrams and pie charts.
Results-The study findings showed that 43.63% of adolescent girls had knowledge of the contributing factors for irregular menstruation in the pre-test. Considering the overall aspect, the results show a significant association between the knowledge of adolescent girls and their selected sociodemographic variables.},
